Good for you . the tho peon Renegade was always a sturdy rifle . You’re restoring it is a good idea.I had just found out about a new Pawn Shop in my hometown so I had to stop by. I walked in the door and low and behold there was a Renegade sitting on the rack. The poor thing is in a sad state of affairs. It is a kit gun that looks like someone literally screwed it together and put some finish on it. Too much wood EVERYWHERE, front sight on backwards, and no sanding or shaping whatsoever. LOL SMH! Even a NEWB to kit building like me knows this IS NOT what you're supposed to do.The bore looks great and the lock works like it should. So we agreed on a price and I walked out with it. I have it torn completely down now. The nipple is stuck and of course I don't have a nipple wrench to fit this nipple. I have it soaking in some Kroiil now. I hope I can budge the thing at some point. So basically I bought an assembled kit. Would one of you fine folks, post some detailed pics of your Renegade so I can get an idea of what the stock should look like?

LMF is so easy to use. I hang my barrels in the bathroom with the hot shower on and floor heater. Get it humid and hot in there and let it hang. Gets a nice rusty brown in no time. Card it down and do it again until I'm happy with it. Knock it back with a wet piece of denim. Go over it with a propane torch. Coat it with small engine oil (non detergent) and let it soak for a couple days. Wipe the oil off and hit it with some gun oil or Ballistol. Then wax.
